| Wish my kid had focused a bit more on getting good grades all through high school. That’s the main thing in common among those kids! |

| These are normal private school kids. The colleges love gods. One thing to note is that all of the families of the kids posted on the ig are majorly connected. |

| I don’t know about these kids in particular but a lot of kids don’t post until today because they don’t want others to know they applied early. That’s not to take anything away from them- still an extraordinary accomplishment- but when they post on IG is not necessarily indicative of whether they applied ED or RD. |

No. Some legacies. How many do you count? |

These kids found out today |

Or, there is pressure not to post early because it creates anxiety for other students and families. |

| Three have posted, is there really a fourth?! |

| At NCS one student runs the IG page. And she rolls them out sporadically in no particular order, except wanting a variety of colors. Lol. |

| Why are you folks doing this? You sound insane. Frantic. |

It is genuinely exciting. Happy for the kids. |

| What about SLACs? Does GDS not push SLACs? Why not? You often get the best undergraduate experience at small liberal arts colleges |

Every year a bunch of GDS kids go off to SLACs. Swat, Haverford, Bowdoin, Oberlin, Pomona, Scripps, Skidmore and on and on. |

| Look, GDS is an elite high school that enrolls lots of kids with connections. Even if they aren’t legacies, they all know people. That’s why these kids do so well with college admissions. The rich get richer. Not exactly a Man Bites Dog story. |

Meaning? Their parents somehow pulled strings to get their kids in? |
